Bathymetry maps of numerical domains in the North Pacific and map of the study area. (a) Bathymetry map of the North Pacific showing the three-step nesting approach from (b) the northwestern North Pacific model (NEST0) to (c) the medium-scale model (NEST1) to (d) the coastal-scale model (NEST2). Colors indicate the depth in meters. The red square denotes the study area. (e) Map of the study area showing watersheds and aquafarms (black blocks) around Funka Bay. The colors indicate land use in the watersheds. The white lines and colored areas indicate river paths and watersheds, respectively. Blue circles with black dots represent river observation stations with an emphasis on the four major watersheds (solid line). Gray lines indicate isobaths and topographic contours in meters. The dashed line defines the mouth of the bay. The eight capital letters (T, N, B, D, Y, O, N, and S) are the abbreviations for the major rivers (Torizaki, Nigori, Otoshibe, Nodaoi, Yurappu, Oshamanbe, Nukibetsu, and Osaru rivers, respectively). Red dots denote water sampling sites for water in streams (s), near-shore (c), aquafarms (a), and offshore seas (o).
